The Knicks: A Good Basketball Team?

Yes.

Following an offseason from hell, the New York Knicks not only look like a real basketball team, but one that could make its Playoff dreams come true. I know, I know, we're only three games into the season, but hear me out on this.

Last night, in a rematch against the swingin' Nuggets (and one of the better teams in the Western Conference), New York put together a performance that should give Knicks fans reason to open the sports section in the morning other than to read about Isiah's latest gaffe.

Rallying from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit, the team carried itself with unmistakable swag; the guards scored and dished at will; the forwards banged down low and dominated the boards; and Nate Robinson didn't do anything cataclysmically stupid. A good night all around.

At least for one night, the Knicks' big weapons (Marbury, Randolph, Crawford, and Curry) were perfectly in sync (each guy had over 20 points) and they managed to do it using just one basketball.

What last night proved was that the Knicks have enough talent and depth to hang with any team in this League; it also became obvious that this team will not let distractions affect their play on the court.

Just wait 'till they start playing some defense.
